The Gouldian Finch or Rainbow Finch is Native to Australia. Large numbers of these birds are kept in captivity but in 1992, they were classified as "Endangered in the wild". Such a shame as these birds are beautiful and need to be saved!

Please help me to make these Birds become an official LEGO set by following the link to support the LEGO Bird Project over on CUUSOO

It's a beautious rainbow birdie! Lovely colors! It is a beautiful addition to your collection. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your lovely birdies getting kicked off the front page, that is not very nice. Hopefully people will be a little nicer as these birds deserve to be on the front!

Endangered? Darn, I was hoping these would be easy targets since they're so colorful. Just kidding. ;-) I really like this one! I didn't know purple cheese slopes existed! I've got loads of purple plates, but no cheese. Did you get them from BL? ;-) -LB Jr.

I envy your colour pallette, especially the purple :) Thank you for your comment, I would love to see the birds sometime - Swindon in October perhaps? Speaking of that, the week after next is when I can get back on track with my transporter (hopefully). The past few months have been so hectic what with school and contests that I haven't had the time to sit down and do the big build! I had to strip most of it apart as well due to a structual issue so It now lies in sections :(

It seems that somebody is determined to sabotage me getting on the homepage. Yesterday I had two ill ratings to kick Victor off the homepage and the same has happened to Gordon already, very bad sportsmanship if you ask me, if you are going to rate one of my creations badly at least have the guts to tell me why! Thank you to everybody else that has given me nice ratings and comments and shame on the you if you are the one ill rating my creations without explaining your reasons!
